Re: [gtk-vnc-devel] Auth types

[Anthony Liguori <anthony codemonkey ws>]

Well, I think the widget should let you choose what auth type.  In the
event that there's a single type, I think a signal should be still be
sent.  That way, if the server only supports a weak authentication, a
smart client can refuse to connect.
